BoP (1999) era Barbara is soooo fucking funny because she'll show up in Nightwing or Azrael to be like "here's the exposition you needed 💕 how's the mystery of the week going 👀 by the way I am single 😜" and then you smash cut over to Birds of Prey where she and Dinah are constantly embroiled in catastrophic international incidents AND nuclear level dyke drama. literally she's just sexting Dick and Jean Paul to blow off steam between avoiding assassination attempts. dare I say an icon.
